Mark the one you want to do by prepending your name to the TODO title, and commit organizers-notebook.org back to the repo. I modified the =subed= package to work with VTT files. The modified version is at https://github.com/sachac/subed/tree/subed-vtt , and I've submitted a pull request. It's pretty cool! If you copy the webm to the same directory and name it with the same filename (except ending in .webm instead of .vtt, of course), subed will automatically synchronize as you move through the subtitles.
